The final element of the risk handling chain, “risk communication,” is of crucial importance in all phases of addressing and handling risk. It is placed in the center of the whole governance cycle. It should enable stakeholders and civil society to understand the risk itself and the rationale of the results and decisions from the risk appraisal and risk management phases when they are not formally part of the process. Even more importantly, when they are themselves involved in risk-related decision making, risk communication must also help them to make informed choices about risk, balancing factual knowledge about risk with personal interests, concerns, beliefs, and resources.
